The practice is structured around four areas of work:
1. Visual Design Consulting
The studio provides visual strategy, digital design, and brand identity systems for select corporate clients and institutions. These projects are characterized by clean layout logic, clear typography, and long-term consulting relationships.
2. Art
The core of the practice is rooted in free creative expression. The studio is currently involved in expressive charcoal works on paper. This physical mark-making acts as a creative counterweight to the deliberate constraints of digital design work.
3. Products and Merchandising
This area translates the visual language of the studio into physical goods. The studio designs and produces high-quality, limited-run items, ranging from clothing to prints, bringing art into everyday use.
4. Essays and Insights
An archive documenting creative methods, visual philosophy, and strategic ideas. These pieces of writing talk about the processes and thoughts that drive the work in the studio.
